Well i did getting it working with plain javascript.
I have tried to get into jQuery this weekend and it is just not working. I
mean i was able to create a ajax_request and paginator script using mootools
with 4-5 hours and just getting a simple class with mootools(or without i
guess) it a pain. the javascript class code structure it also very akword
to be coming from a C++ background. I wanted to see why one of my
co-workers is in love with jQuery and i just don't see what jQuery does not
have the mootools can't do(i have also not been told anything from one
either).
I one big difference between mootools and Jquery from using both is the
mootools has much better OOP support. Mootools Class is a big step up for
OOP in javascript as the class code it alot cleaner than normal javascript
class code(ofcourse this is just my opinion) and mootools allowing for much
better inheritance.
I think jQuery and mootools a pretty similiar frameworks but i think
mootools Class gives is a slight edge over jQuery.
